The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest and trade in gold, stock and digital currencies. C. Kevin insights and charts are productive.

I feel alone in my ventures into the market. I invest in crypto and the NYSE and at times I feel alone. Because no one else around me is involved and loves following the market like I do. Ive been watching this market and 2023 has been fun to watch. Im excited for crypto to finally get the head wind it deserves. You guys are amazing with your insight. Cathy Woods has been great with her insight an team. Thank you so very much for the conversations about innovations and the insights from you all. Thank you.

Kathy. I have been holding your etfs for long and have been down now to 50-60% +/- Dca in. For over 2 years now. Keep holding because I do believe in the innovation being future. It is a terrible economic climate because of current administrations policies and unpredictable illogical behaviors. Will you please comment of your etfs and what you are thinking at this point forward.

Did you intentionally avoid mentioning Ripple in this conversation? I am constantly amazed at these in-depth discussions that talk about enterprise and institutional use cases… and somehow fail to mention the company with the most prominent relationships in both.

XRP up 35% this month.

My thoughts exactly! No discussions about the real builders in the crypto world.

Why always talking about Bitcoin? Bitcoin is obsolete tech in the crypto and blockchain world. It can’t even scale as a payment system! The one thing it was designed to do!
